Anubis Systems Technologies

VERIFICATION SERVICES

All municipal jurisdictions in the lower mainland require newly installed fire alarm systems to be inspected in accordance with ULC CAN4-S537, "the Standard for Verification of Fire Alarm Systems". The Verification is usually performed by the fire alarm systems manufacturer (or their authorized representative) and is paid for by the electrical contractor who installed it. In British Columbia all fire alarm systems must be installed by a licenced electrical contractor and where renovation or addtions are involved, a proper Building Permit must be obtained from your municipal district. We provide verification services to new installation of Fire-Lite® Alarm panels (as their authorized distributor), as well as extend our services to installations involving renovations or additions of existing equipment (regardless of manufacturer).

For more information you can email us or telephone (778) 863 - 7147.

FAQ

How much do you charge for a Verification?
For renovation/additions, our basic $275.00 charge covers a single zone in a non-addressable control and up to ten (10) devices. We charge an addtional $10.00 for each device over the basic ten and $25.00 for each additional zone. GST is of course, extra. These charges are valid for most Lower Mainland jurisdictions and are posted here as a general guide only. For a no obligation survey and quotation on your specific job, please contact us. The verification charge for any control panel equipment we supply is of course included in the cost.

Can anyone hire you?
No. You must be a licenced practicing electrical contractor in the Province of British Columbia or a fire prevention company. There have been special circumstances where either the builiding's insurer or a prospective purchaser may require a verification of an existing fire alarm system. We will consider such circumstances on a job-by-job basis.

What about annual inspections?
Anubis Systems Technologies does NOT provide annual inspection service to ULC CAN4-S536. We can recommend several companies to you that will perform this service at a reasonable cost. For your convenience, here's a partial list of some local (Vancouver) agencies (please note these are in alphabetical order). You can check your local Yellow Pages™ for a more complete list:

Who will service my equipment?
In most instances involving new equipment, the manufacturer provides this service (under the terms of their warranty). We provide out-of-warranty field service to most manufactered systems under contract to either a licenced fire service company or electrical contractor. Equipment purchased through us is of course serviced by us.

Can Anubis program an existing addressable fire alarm panel?
If the panel is manufactured by Fire-Lite®, the answer is YES! If, however you have an addressable panel from another manufacturer, you will have to contact their service representative in order to make programming changes to the system. For your convenience here are the phone numbers (in Vancouver) of the different fire alarm system manufacturers or their authorized representatives. Please note that a verification of the system may be required for any changes that affect the system's operation. Check with your manufacturer's representative and your local municipal electrical inspections branch before you initiate such a change.
